Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 226 Thief Cao, you and I are at odds with each other!

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't play his cards according to common sense, and suddenly pulled out his sword, looking menacing.

How could a pampered emperor who had lived in the palace for a long time not be afraid of the murderous aura he had experienced on the battlefield?

In an instant, Liu Xie almost collapsed from his seat, his body trembling.

"My dear...you, what do you want to do?"

Cao Cao had an angry expression on his face and said fiercely: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, if you want your ministers to die, they will have to die."

"If Your Majesty wants to kill your ministers, you can just kill them. Why would you send assassins to do this in such a despicable way? Do you really think that I, Cao Cao, will be afraid of a few little assassins?"

"Back then, I wasn't afraid of Yuan Shao's millions of troops, and I was able to deal with them easily with hundreds of thousands of Jiangdong naval forces. A few little assassins, aren't they ridiculous?"

Liu Xie really wanted to kill Cao Cao. If it was that easy, he would have given the order long ago.

But he also knew in his heart that if he really gave the order to kill Cao Cao, Cao Cao would have already entered the palace before the imperial edict left the palace.

If you want to take back your rights for the sake of your own life, don't you have to use despicable means?

Seeing Cao Cao's killing intent at this moment, Liu Xie of course had to pretend not to know what was going on, and asked with pretense of confusion: "Why is the Prime Minister so angry?"

Cao Cao snorted coldly and told everything he had investigated.

"Those assassins who assassinated me are the orphans of the rebellious traitors. I killed them in order to maintain the stability of the world and have a clear conscience!"

"But who has the ability to bring them together, train them, and turn them into assassins to assassinate me?"

Liu Xie's eyes widened and he still pretended not to know and asked: "Is there such a thing? Who is it?"

"Hmph, besides Your Majesty, who else can have such great energy?"

The emperor's name is a sign of heaven. Not only can those assassins avenge their relatives and kill Cao Cao, but they can also get the emperor's approval, so naturally they are willing to die.

This is one of the reasons why Cao Cao is sure that Liu Xie is the man behind the scenes.

Liu Xie quickly shook his head and denied it. Admitting it at this time was simply seeking death.

"Prime Minister, please don't frame me falsely. I didn't do this!"

"The Prime Minister has worked hard for the country, fighting all year round, pacifying the world for my great Han Dynasty, and exterminating the rebellious officials and traitors. It's too late for me to be happy. How can I find an assassin to kill you."

"Besides, I will never forget the Prime Minister's kindness in saving my life, and I will never repay kindness with enmity!"

Even so, he felt extremely humiliated in his heart.

For the dignified emperor to give such a humiliating explanation to a rebellious minister and traitor is simply an insult to the name of the emperor.

The more humiliated he felt, the greater his hatred towards Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao did save himself in the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si.

But he had just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den, and his situation was not much better.

So he was not even remotely grateful to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao naturally didn't believe what Liu Xie said, and he was still full of murderous intent at this moment.

"Your Majesty, if you admit it, I will still look up to you, but now you deny it in every possible way, you have simply fallen into disrepute as the emperor!"

"Is it really necessary for me to bring the assassin before His Majesty before Your Majesty will admit it?"

Liu Xie didn't care about the emperor's reputation at this moment, he just wanted to survive.

With the sword in front, he didn't dare to admit a single word.

"Prime Minister, it's really not me. What do you want me to admit?"

Just at the moment of tension, the old eunuch on the side suddenly walked out.

"Cao Cao is so bold that he dares to treat the Emperor like this. He is simply treasonous!"

"To tell you the truth, the assassination was arranged by me. I just can't stand your overstepping and not taking the emperor into consideration!" After saying that, he knelt down directly towards Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has made his own decisions and put you in danger. It is the old slave who deserves to die!"

Liu Xie's heart suddenly trembled, knowing that the old eunuch was using his own life to protect himself.

He fulfilled his promise with his life.

"You...how could you be so confused!"

Liu Xie also followed suit and then looked at Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, this slave has been with me for a long time. I promise there will be no next time. Can Prime Minister spare his life?"

Cao Cao's eyes showed a fierce look and he snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, such a person is too dangerous. He doesn't inform your Majesty of such important events. He clearly has the intention of treason."

"Today, I will kill the traitors on behalf of Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he raised his sword and stabbed, killing the old eunuch directly.

Liu Xie's body trembled, and he was so frightened that he didn't even notice the blood splattered on his dragon robe.

Cao Cao naturally knew that this matter must have been arranged by Liu Xie, but he could not really kill Liu Xie. The old eunuch jumped out and gave him a step up.

I believe that after this time, Liu Xie will not dare to make any small moves again.

"The traitors have been eliminated. Your Majesty can feel at ease this time."

Cao Cao put away his sword, turned around and left the place.

After Cao Cao left, Liu Xie looked at the old eunuch's body and burst into tears without any image.

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have let you do this for me. I was the one who harmed you!"

His heart was full of regret, and at the same time he hated Cao Cao even more!

"Thief Cao, I and you are at odds with each other!"

After killing the old eunuch, Cao Cao let Liu Xie go.

Such a naked threat made Liu Xie dare not make any big moves, and could only curse Cao Cao in his heart.

The next day.

In the court hall, all the officials were kneeling, but Cao Cao sat below the emperor, showing off his honor.

Although many people in the court were dissatisfied with Cao Cao, no one had the courage to speak out.

At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Cao has power over both the government and the public.

After all the officials were in place, Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, now that Wuhuan is marching south, the people wherever he goes are in dire straits. If they are not curbed, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Wuhuan is cruel, this is a fact recognized by everyone.

The towns bordering Wuhuan were often plundered by Wuhuan. If there were not always people guarding the border, Wuhuan would have attacked them long ago.

Now Cao Cao mentioned this matter to tell the civil and military officials why he wanted to return to the court.

But he didn't take the initiative to mention going. Instead, he looked at Liu Xie with amusement.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you have the ability to stop Wuhuan from going south?"

Facing the provocative words, Liu Xie almost broke his teeth. This was clearly Cao Cao looking down on him!

The majestic emperor faced an invasion from a foreign race and had no military power at all. What could he do to stop it?

Cao Cao was just using this incident to remind him that without Cao Cao, he couldn't even stop the invasion of aliens. How could he be an emperor?

Such humiliation made Liu Xie want to get angry on the spot, but he couldn't.

Now he has no strength and is just a puppet in Cao Cao's hands. Challenging Cao Cao will only lead to death!
